Question

After debugging for many hours, I just give up and ask for your help. Original app isn’t as simple as my example, but the problem is the same: problems w/ cache reloading. Original app caches the view and provides another view which should change contents in database and reload cache. I have created demo app which shows that cache.clean() does NOT work. Cache is cleaned only when contents in database are expired. Why is that so?

Demo can be found here.

Answer 1

Problem was browser cache. Browser itself cached the results and that’s why I didn’t see changes.

Solution was to add @cache_control(no_cache=True) in front of cached view. That decorator simply disables browser cache.
